“The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) would like to clarify that the 2025 Direct Entry (DE) Registration will not be closing on Monday, April 7, 2025, as being speculated.
The registration process, which began on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, will continue until a closing date is announced. Therefore, candidates who wish to register can do so at any of the Board’s designated Professional Registration Centres (PRCs) on Monday and continuing until the official closing date is revealed,” JAMB stated .
JAMB noted that the ongoing registration period is being liberalized to aid investigations into applicants caught or suspected of presenting fake A-Level results.
According to the statement, several candidates are under scrutiny or have been arrested for attempting to manipulate the system.
“This liberalization of the registration period allows the Board to complete ongoing investigations into candidates who have been arrested or are under scrutiny for attempting to use fraudulent A-Level results for registration.
